Chapter Seventy-Three: Marriage Proposal

Thunderstorms come and go suddenly.

After about a stick of incense, the rain also fell to a small place.

Once the rain stops, it's time to go back.

Meng Xilan turned her head, looked at Chu Jingchuan, who had been staring at her, and said lightly: "The rain is about to stop, and my brother's tea is getting old." ”

She had something to say, Chu Jingchuan understood in her heart, and then reached out and held the teacup tightly, lowered her eyebrows and said nothing, only drank the tea in the teacup before saying, "The rain has stopped, let's go." ”

Meng Xilan looked up at him, looking at the tangle between his eyebrows, and wondered. What the hell is going on with him today, he feels very unhappy and bored.

When Chu Jingchuan got up, Meng Xilan was still sitting still, he came over and stretched out his hand to her, but she grabbed the corner of his clothes first. "You're so weird today."

Chu Jingchuan pursed her lips and froze in place, as if she was still enduring it.

Meng Xilan sighed softly, and stopped talking: "It's rare for us to meet once, there aren't many opportunities like this......

Didn't he come to see her because he had something to say?

Chu Jingchuan lowered his lips, and his tone was very entangled: "Lan'er, I don't know what to say?" ”

Meng Xilan sensed a hint of gloom in his tone, and tightened the corners of his clothes: "You can say whatever you want, am I an outsider?" ”

Chu Jingchuan paused, then took a deep breath and said, "Lan'er, I think we will get married immediately!" Would you like to? ”

"Huh?" Meng Xilan didn't react for a while, and looked at him with a surprised face.

Chu Jingchuan reached out and grabbed her shoulders, looked at her with gentle strength, and looked at her fixedly: "We will get married immediately!" I want you to see you every day! ”

Meng Xilan's body shook slightly, stabilized her mind and said, "But, Brother Jingchuan, you said that you would wait for my ......"

"Yes, I said that. But do you know how tormented I am these days? ”

Her words were cut short and thin.

Chu Jingchuan's palm strained slightly: "Things are changing too fast." It's good for you, it's good for Jingwen...... I don't know what to do now? ”

Everything went off track. His most beloved sister is about to enter the palace to become the wife of the incompetent prince, and he can't do anything. His favorite woman was named a princess overnight, and even his mother began to worry a little about whether the Queen Mother would keep Meng Xilan by her side until the end of her life!

"So Lan'er, we'll get married right away, okay?" His tone was eager and full of anxiety.

Meng Xilan looked at him with wide eyes, and almost subconsciously blurted out: "No, this is impossible!" ”

Her sudden answer pierced Chu Jingchuan's heart like a nail, making him hurt terribly.

Looking at his instantly injured eyes, Meng Xilan knew that she had said the wrong thing.

She shouldn't have been so direct, she shouldn't have broken his heart. But if she gets married now, then everything she has worked so hard to manage will become meaningless. If it's just to get married, why does she bother to enter the palace? Why bother to please the Queen Mother? Why risk your life?

"Brother Shizukawa, now is not the time...... I still have so much to do. Meng Xilan's eyelashes drooped and said slowly.

"What do you want to do?" Chu Jingchuan put down the hand that was holding her shoulder and asked in a deep voice.

He thought she wanted the same as himself.

"The princess's name is just a false name, I am still the daughter of the Meng family, and there are some things I have to do." Meng Xilan's eyes flashed, and she looked at Chu Jingchuan and said seriously: "What I want is never my own happiness, what I want is the peace and happiness of everyone in the Meng family." ”

Chu Jingchuan was stunned when he heard this, he could see the firmness in her eyes, it was a kind of stubbornness that was almost a little sad, which made him have a bad premonition in his heart.

For some reason, he heard some indescribable sadness from her words, and felt as if she was ready to sacrifice everything for the Meng family anytime and anywhere...... Moreover, everything can be done.

"Is there anything difficult for you? Or is there something wrong with the family? ”

Chu Jingchuan asked with a puzzled face. If something happens to her, he'll definitely help her!

Meng Xilan shook her head, her eyes became thicker, and then slowly faded.

Chu Jingchuan stared into her eyes, there were too many vicissitudes in them that did not belong to her age, it felt so strange.

Obviously everything is calm, but her heart is always full of uneasiness and worry. Why is that? What exactly is she worried about? He doesn't understand!

"If anyone bullies you, I will kill him with my own hands. If someone slanders you, I will stand up and speak for you right away. Lan'er, I'm willing to do anything for you, as long as you tell me, I'll help you! But now, I really don't understand, what's going on in your mind? ”

Meng Xilan's dark eyes were filled with layers of faint waves, how should she tell him? Could it be that he is a person who has died once...... It's simply impossible!

"Brother Shizukawa......" she called him softly again, her voice soft, and she only gathered all her hardships into this sentence.

Chu Jingchuan felt it, but after waiting and waiting, she still didn't continue.

He sighed softly and held out his hands again, this time instead of pressing her shoulders, he just hugged her into his arms.

Since two people's hearts can't get closer, let's let the body be closer. That way he would feel like she was still his...... Nothing will change.

Meng Xilan's body stiffened, and before he could speak, he felt that he hugged himself tighter again, and his breath was full of his ears.

"I just want you to be happy......"

He seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be whispering to her.

"I'm happy." Meng Xilan smiled faintly and comforted him.

"No, you don't. Although you always laugh, you can fool others, but you can't fool me. ”

Meng Xilan's heart moved when she heard this, and she felt a burst of sourness inexplicably, and she couldn't help but slowly reach out and hug his back. "Brother Shizukawa, you wait for me."

She patted him on the back, as if to comfort him, reassuring him.

What he longed for, she also looked forward to. It's just that now, he and she are both involuntarily, except to wait, or wait. If one day she could get what she wanted, she would leave the palace at once, and go to his side to be his wife, and make up for all the debts she owed to him in her past and present lives.

Chu Jingchuan was silent for a while, and then he sighed, he couldn't say "no" to her.

His throat was a little tight, and it took a long time before he agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes, and after half a sound, she heard him speak again: "No matter what happens in the future, you have to be the first to tell me." ”

Meng Xilan was silent for a while, then snorted, her chin lightly resting on his shoulder, gentle and submissive.

Chu Jingchuan, if I can, I would like to stay with you like this for the rest of my life...... It's just that I can't!
